Essential reading for all sociologists - budding or not!
This book is a high quality resource, and ideal for Access to HE, foundation degree or undergraduate courses.
It examines many of the key areas of Globalisation; exploring identity, technology, education, governance and democracy. Although a fantastic book, there are limited discussions about globalisation and crime, which is one of the key issues emerging in this academic area.
It provides students with an easy to understand, textbook guide to globalisation. Examining many complex arguments and facets to the phenomenon.
A comprehensive text to support undergraduate study.
The book is a useful background reading for understanding the challenges of globalization in the context of international business. Recommended for undergraduate students studying international business.
This book would make an excellent backdrop to Sernau's Social Inequality in a Global Age. It provides an excellent analysis of how global policies, and social structures of inequalities, are reproduced through the lens of politics and interdependent international economies.
An excellent resource for students studying development theory or global studies. It provides a comprehensive and critical foundation and explanation for the process of globalisation and its impact on our world today.
Well written in an easily accessible format, it is a worthy and valuable companion for any student wanting to understand the international arena.
Highly recommended book!!
Good book, but some of my students are lower level and the reading comprehension may too high for them.
I am going to consider this book for my World Demography class I am teaching in Summer 2014, so I will let you know then.
Thanks for the copy!
This book brings us up to date with the process of globalisation. It is full of essential reading for the course. The author relates to so many of the topics we cover and the detail is exceptional. I liked the layout and order of the topics. This will be invaluable to our students.
This is an excellent student/tutor friendly text very suitable for undergraduate teaching. It is clear and topical on a subject which is crowded with much literature. However this book cuts through the main sub- issues in a fashion that is compatable with class discussion.
Very good introduction for the dozen themes it tackles. I advised my students who work on one of those themes to read the chapter in question as an introduction to their research.
This a very good text book, identifying and conceptualizing globalization in a format that is digestable to students, but yet still offering criticality. Politically astute and socially relevant
The book is not appropriate for a Master level course. Furthermore, as an economist I strongly disagree with large parts of the book. I am not sure the author has read economics beyond the most basic level.
This book is an ideal for students to develop their understanding of global issues. It will become essential reading for the module Law, Globalisation and Ethics.
very good intro text
